THE Atlanta COaStRatiga, discussing the
care OF Mr. Turrie, Of Iuiiana, now occu-
pJirg q seat In the Uated States Senate,
says; lg
TIE cxns,itut on Of every state m tkes each
house of the legislature the absolute judge o.
The qualification Of every member to his seat.
when this is douc, aud the verdict Of a legisla-
t,rc, properly a.trS,el as req tired by the con-
.iIut!Ou Of the United States, has been sent tu
the SEM tc, that b,ly has nothing to do bat to
rccogLize The senator 50 elected.
Aud the constitution of the United
States, which ls higher authority tn IN its
Damesake of Atlanta. In paragraph one,
section Eve Of article one says: "Each
House (of Congiess) shall be the judge OF
the elections, returns, aud qualifications OF
its own members" So 1t seems that on
its own motion, without q contest, without
protest from any one, the Senate OF the
United States has perfect right to Ego
behind the returns,n no matter how we'll
they are made. and inquire into the "elec.
tions, returns, and qualifications" of any
one holding seat there.

regulation affair will remain on the track
only so long as the protection locomotive Is
out Of view. When 1t thunders down tn
road the administration will pull the wires
and haul of the stuffed affair, leaving Hurd
and his fellow cranks to face the inevitable
crash.
II Mr. Hutd were little less euthus
astic 10 his cfzze he would see the imposs
bllIty of such mass Of false pretenses a
Bourbon Democracy adherlng TO anythn4
like a conviction long enough to impeti
lie personality. Had 1t the honesty to back
ts real free trade views, Mr.. Hurd would
be as certain OF place on the next national
ticket as NJ. Cleveland now is, ana the r.
publican party would no longer be obliged
to fight efTigies.
National Republican., 1887-12-20

The New ork World has adopted tn
d,iuiti,n by the Atlanta Constitution OF the
tenn "bloody shirt" That orgsa OF the
'Lew south" said that it was "wavug the
blocdy shirt" to say that the Republican
vote of the south was suppressed. As X =
publican papers and speakers have shown
their intention to make this suppression
topic In the coming campaign, the IPorld
says:
If the Republican party has mlie ua its
mil 10 so in for the luxury of bloody shirt
campaign next year 1t shonld not overlook the
ella ms Of Mr. Lynch, OF Mississippi as n can
date for Vice President. Mr. Lynch is 90
oTed man with tropic imagination and a
tongue that is more or less silyery, and he
actually believes that Mr.. Cleveland was no,
elected President in 1884. In a campaign such
as is proposed he could probably yell louder
than any man in the country, not even except
ing Foraker.
"Bloody shirt" or no bloody shirt, the
people OF the country, before the next cam
paign closes, will be fully Informed as to
the Democratic methods of suppressing
votes in the south, and the results will in-
dlcate the truthfulness Of Mr.. Lynch's state
ment which excites the World to anger.

The Real Free Trader or the Eagyg

\ mad bull attacking the locomotive Of a
fifty miles'an'hour express is a mild speci.
men Of crank beside the professional free
violent form. The other fellow doesn't
know when he is pulverized.
Now, here comes Frank Hurd rising from
q signal overthrow on the free trade issue In
an Ohio district, hallooing In praise of Mr.
Cleveland's free trade platform, and once
more daring the protection locomotive to
meet him on fair track. 81 have before
proclaimed this policy In my district" Ia
substance shouts this student OF the CJbden
Club, "aud propose to keep 1t up through
victory or defeat" lie follows up his dec
laIation to ptrseYere Ia butting the loco
motive by the prediction that the natlonll
Democracy VIII at last also adopt the al
legged "policy" Of standing upon the tract;
with lin to be bowled down as he has re.
peatedly been. His crszs would be pItiable
In person less conspicuous. He appearr
to be In that stage OF rolllcking maduess
which pTecedes drlveling idiocy.
Were Mr.. Hurd really Of sound Judgment.
he would deserve credit far superior to hs
party merits. He would appear at least TO
be honest and bold in urging his convlc.
tons. lie does not cringe land shunla in
the face OF public opinion, as his party con-
ventioDs have done time out OF mind. He
does not clamor for free trade before the
fight begins and then charge his guns with
thermild powder Of Incidental protection.
lie does not advertise his views and then
Immediately proceed to trade them for
glltteriDg false pretenses with which to
fool the country. In short, his position Is
respectable compared to some Of the poll
ticians high in the confidence OF the admin
istration who are shouting Justify to keep
up the Presidents free trade boom for the
entertainment of free traders, while beg
ging for a compromise with Randall by
which to entangle the protectionist voters.
The difference between the adminstra-
tion free trade bull aud the Hurd bull Is
the difference between bull OF straw aud
the real animal, The first is worked with
Nirs and the other is really blooded. The

Ever since the birth of the republic it has
been illegal for the vessels of any foreign

should II not be speedily made illegal FOR the
Canadian railroads TO engage in carrying
goods and passengers between our eastern and

II we protect our ships against the competition
